Shaw's Point

It suits buyers who want space and proximity to the water in western Bradenton rather than a dense, amenity-packed community. Homes are large — a median of about 4,721 square feet — and both current listings feature pools, so it leans toward relaxed, outdoor-oriented living. It's a quiet, small neighborhood, so expect character over convenience.

Yes, the active market is firmly high-end, with a median list price near $2.02 million and asking prices from roughly $1.55M to $2.49M. That said, sold data tells a more nuanced story: six homes closed over the past year at a median of $735,000, so realized prices can vary widely with the specific property. For a broader range of price points, it's worth also looking at the wider Bradenton market.

Current listings average about $440 per square foot on a median home size of 4,721 square feet, which pushes list prices past the $2 million mark. The two active homes range from $1,549,000 to $2,490,000. Because inventory is so limited, individual home features — especially waterfront access — drive price more than any neighborhood average.

It's a slow-moving, low-inventory market: only two homes are active and the median time on market is 98 days. Sellers over the past year averaged 94% of their asking price across six sales, which signals that well-priced homes sell but ambitious pricing sits. Patience and sharp pricing both matter here.

There's no reliable HOA figure reported for the active listings, which fits the neighborhood's mix of larger, individually held properties. Property taxes are a more meaningful line item, with a median around $12,739 per year — a reflection of the higher home values in this pocket of Bradenton. Always confirm the specific tax and any HOA obligation on the individual property you're considering.
